Colorado Stonecrop

Sedum spathulifolium, the Colorado stonecrop or spoon-leaved stonecrop, is a succulent perennial plant in the family Crassulaceae with a native range in western North America and records in seven European countries as well as Colombia. This species has not been evaluated by the IUCN. Stonecrops in the genus Sedum are characteristically drought-tolerant, inhabiting rocky outcrops, cliff faces, talus slopes, and other well-drained terrestrial habitats where competition from larger plants is reduced. Sedum spathulifolium forms low-growing rosettes of fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves that are often coated in a powdery glaucous bloom, which helps reduce water loss in exposed environments. Yellow star-shaped flowers appear in spring and early summer, attracting a range of small pollinators. The species is widely cultivated as a rock garden ornamental owing to its compact habit and attractive foliage, which may explain its presence outside its native range. Like other Crassulaceae, Sedum spathulifolium employs Crassulacean acid metabolism to reduce water loss during photosynthesis. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

세계에서 가장 큰 영장류인 서부고릴라는 체중이 최대 180kg에 달하며 적도 아프리카의 열대 및 아열대 삼림에 서식한다. 주로 초식성이며, 무리를 보호하고 사회적 갈등을 중재하는 실버백 수컷이 이끄는 가족 집단을 이루어 생활한다. 삼림 벌채, 식육용 밀렵, 에볼라 바이러스 발병의 위협으로 인해 심각한 위기(CR) 종으로 지정되었다.
